Measurement Engineer

Permanent employee, Full-time · Delft

Our mission

QuantWare is the world's leading manufacturer of superconducting quantum hardware. As a high growth start-up with a global customer base, our mission is to accelerate the advent of the quantum computer. We push the boundaries of what's possible in our field. We work on making the world’s largest quantum processors, as fast as possible.

At QuantWare, we’re not just producing quantum hardware for the hyperscalers of tomorrow; we’re working on technology that will change the world. To make that ambition a reality, we need exceptional people who drive real impact. That’s where you come in. 


QuantWare is seeking a Measurement Engineer to join our team at the forefront of quantum computing innovation. In this role, you will take ownership of advanced measurement and characterization of superconducting quantum processors. Key responsibilities include optimizing gates and readout performance on new hardware architectures and contributing to the development of large scale experimental setups supporting up to hundreds of qubits. Your work will also involve the development of the foundational building blocks of quantum error correction (QEC). We encourage engineers with a strong background in any of these areas to apply.

This position provides the opportunity to drive innovation in quantum measurement while contributing to the development of scalable quantum computing hardware. Collaborating closely with our multidisciplinary development teams, you’ll play a pivotal role in advancing the performance of QuantWare’s products.

What you'll be doing
  • Advanced Measurement Protocols: Contribute to the design, implementation, and optimization of cutting-edge measurement protocols that advance the fidelity and performance of quantum gates and readout. Your work will play a pivotal role in building the experimental capabilities needed for demonstrating QEC protocols.
  • Cryo Lab Innovation: Lead the enhancement of cryogenic lab setups to support the next generation of quantum hardware. This includes optimizing wiring, filtering, and electromagnetic shielding to reduce noise and cross-talk, as well as developing advanced thermalization strategies to ensure stable operation of increasingly large and complex quantum devices.
  • Code Development: Write, debug, and optimize measurement software using Python-based tools and frameworks like Quantify or QCoDeS to automate and streamline experiments.
  • Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with engineering teams to iterate on quantum device designs, ensuring seamless integration of experimental results into the development cycle.
What we offer

You’ll be part of a high performing team of world-leading experts at the forefront of quantum technology on a mission to change the world. QuantWare offers a fast-paced environment where you can excel and become the best version of yourself, where you can shape and own your role, taking on significant responsibility from day one.


  • An excellent monthly salary depending on experience and holiday pay (a bonus of 8% of your annual salary, paid out once a year in May)

  • A very solid pension scheme (20% off your annual salary, minus the statutory offset, of which QuantWare contributes 63%). On top of that, we fully pay for your  partner’s and orphan’s pension plus disability premium waiver. For a secure future for you and your loved ones.

  • We believe in giving and taking ownership, that’s why we let you decide on when and how to get your work done - as long as it gets done (i.e. through an open vacation policy, flexible working hours and hybrid working options).

  • For international colleagues we provide support with relocation to the Netherlands, tailored to your personal circumstances (e.g. visa application, travel costs, temporary housing and support in applying for a 30% tax benefit);

  • Great extra benefits: the choice between a public transport business card or travel allowance, a development budget based on personal ambitions and need and plenty of social and health initiatives (such as team outings, chair massages and sports classes).

Your profile

  • Education:
    • Master's Degree in Physics, Engineering, or related field AND 2+ years experience in industry or in a research and development environment.
    • OR Doctorate in Physics, Engineering.
  • Experience:
    • In-depth knowledge of superconducting qubits.
    • Extensive hands-on expertise with cryostats and qubit specific control electronics.
    • Proficiency in Python programming for experiment automation; experience with frameworks like Quantify, QCoDeS, or similar is a plus.
  • Skills:
    • Proven ability to design and execute complex experiments with precision and reproducibility.
    • Strong organizational skills, with attention to detail in both experimental and operational aspects of the role.
    • Exceptional problem-solving capabilities and a collaborative mindset to work effectively across disciplines.
